Usually just 10 copies of the same problem being worked out, all wrong in their own way most of the time, and you have to pay to view them at all and they have a very low consumer score. <br /><br />I tried blocking "www.chegg.com" and it appears on my block list, but chegg still occupies an entire page of google search results. And often times has results mixed into the pages that follow. Making matters worse is I usually read the link description more than the URL, so I keep clicking chegg links. <br /><br />As far as I can tell chegg is likely paying google off for high placement and to keep people from blocking them.Ellianderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305604952683423168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-50175944546416081542013-02-10T18:29:47.552-08:002013-02-10T18:29:47.552-08:00If the feature doesn't work - and it doesn'...If the feature doesn't work - and it doesn't - then Google should remove the option to select it until it does work.

Google doesn't give a damn what people want, their programers are complete idiots with no clue as to what people want, and even if they did they don't care.<br /><br />They are more concerned with accessing every piece of personal information about you and using it, as well as making it available to the government. Google doesn't even have a decent help program and the people answering questions on google.support are unpaid idiots.<br /><br />My favorite answer to a question on google support, when someone asked what google remote viewering plug in was for & whether it was needed to run any programs & could it be disabled: it's something google put there so you don't need to worry about it. The name itself is worrying. He didn't answer the question and that answer pissed off a lot of people.BunBun4lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13000914304158594556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-71803301255726337602013-01-10T07:37:39.203-08:002013-01-10T07:37:39.203-08:00Screw Google.

I'...Does anyone know if Bing has site blocking?<br />I've been blocking informer.com, software.informer.com, java.informer.com, porn,informer.com, etc. but it still shows up.<br />If you don't already know, informer.com is a spam site that has thousands of shill backlinks and hundreds of spambots that's constantly update their meta data and steal web space to host ambush porn. It's all those porn sites you see that your kids run across. They upload porn to insecure dedicated servers/vps/cloud and stream them to their websites based in the Dominican republic, Nigeria, and Sversk.<br /><br />I hate to admit it, but they are some smart puppies, updating their virii and spyware that automatically install onto your PC just from the search link Google shows.<br /><br />I've been a network security administrator (legal hacker to you youngsters), since 1996 and designed the first 8-bit game for stand-up consoles in 1989.<br /><br />Please stay away from that site for your own good, AVS won't work.<br />PS If you're wondering why your Windows 7 system suddenly got slow after December 23, three weeks after Microsoft release Windows 8, take a look at the December 23 .NET update (if you have the ability to view the raw code/decompile). A changed class for the Sata/IDE control now has it at 1/100*100 giving 100% speed, being 1.5Gbps for SataII/3Gbps for SataIII SSD. The code has been changed to 1/100*(mtimernd/80*60)<br />The Random class reads:<br />mtimernd = mtime($random)<br /><br />The new code cuts your Sata speeds consistently by 20%*40% with the mtimernd causing the access latency to randomly be anywhere from 0-100% of what it should be, instead of constant 100%.<br /><br />MS also hired several thousand people in East India to answer these trouble tickets and inform customers that they need to upgrade to Windows 8. They have all been trained using a guide called bythebook, which is standardized policy on training India tech support how to legally scam customers.<br /><br />The truth is out there.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17084556761210517470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-12444090675754575382012-12-26T14:20:26.225-08:002012-12-26T14:20:26.225-08:00Firefox users have a choice of Greasemonkey usersc...Firefox users have a choice of Greasemonkey userscripts for blocking.<br /><br />See: https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/websearch/kDJBHbJQX_Q/ndXOB1jNu3UJAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13963492000658776648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-19258753006654933712012-12-25T07:34:38.640-08:002012-12-25T07:34:38.640-08:00too bad that this function is not working ....too bad that this function is not working ....dsphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02403811517543176194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-61177048487115782562012-12-08T08:34:24.153-08:002012-12-08T08:34:24.153-08:00Also not working for me.
